Letter written by Noel Gaines to Governor Austin Peay. The letter, regarding passing the anti-evolution law in the State of Tennessee, contains strong language where Mr. Gaines calls the majority of Science teachers in the country, "rank infidels, atheists, materialists, teaching a line of destruction." Mr. Gaines goes on to say that Christian people pay the bill for, "treasonable book companies who have and are printing these satan-sandwich-books."The University of Tennessee Libraries (Knoxville, Tennessee) is the digital publisher.
